If you get the no lift to 3" lift ones they will be longer and full extension, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The ride will probably be the same as the non lifted 5100 bils. But thats just a guess on my part

The shock for the 3" lift is so you will have a nice travel (keep your wheels on the ground). Of course, removing the rear sway bar helps that even more, thus resulting in flex.

Nothing for the X on my list either, I had to get a electric drum kit last week and so that is going to have to count for my Christmas. :)

On another note, Mac that turkey avatar is messed up bro!!! :concern: :) :concern:

Aww, it's funny ;)

I got nothin' for the X on my X-Mas list. We're actually doing a Yankee Swap this year with my parents and in-laws. My wife and I are buying one small gift for each other, and everybody's getting something for all the kids. Money is just too tight for everybody right now.

I'd like to say I can gift myself a power inverter, OBA, or UCA's, but there's just no way. Maybe next year...

Sent to you from my very own piece of East Coast paradise...

This is what we're doing with my wife's family too. There are five kids and five grandkids so far. So it's gonna be a dang big family.

As for my Xmas list, I've made a spreadsheet of all the cr@p I want. Basically it was a list of stuff I will buy eventually, but converted it to an Xmas list for the holidays. I got everything from more camping/recovery gear, bumpers, new seats, Aux-in radio, trailor hitch, etc. My family tends to pitch in money to buy one big thing for each person. It all works out :)

Your list is a lot like mine BlckHwk. However the 33's and rims are now off the list thanks to my birthday. Doesn't mean that tools, new sound system, automatic car start, recovery gear, camping gear and new snowboarding gear isnt on the list.

Funny how a few years ago my family sucked at buying gifts. Now with my list nicely typed out with EXACTLY what I want down to the description I hopefully will not have to repeat a line like this again. "No Mom! I don't fancy the baby blue matching hat, glove, scarf, bubble vest, fleece set you got me!"

hahaha ditto. I have mine sorted with company name, exact item #, price, and even the website to get it at :)

Before that it was a cr@pshoot for receiving gifts >_<

I see a sweet modded and geared up Land Rover every day when I drive through the ghetto. If he wasn't driving in the opposite direction I'd have a picture of it by now >_<

youtube: "Jungle Recon Action Figure Therapy I Love My Job" (nsfw) or the forum. You've been warned, it's awesome though. My brother in-law and I have been cracking up to quotes from it all weekend.

It's time to go drink PBR and watch Kung Fu Panda. Because, hard to believe as it may be, I have not yet SEEN Kung Fu Panda. Happy rest of Turkey Day!!

Does anyone find it hard to get back into routine after traveling? I just got home at 1am, woke up at 6 and came to work and I feel like I might pass out right here. Crazy.

Nice.. Im staring at a computer screen.. Ordering things online I don't need while working at the same time...haha. Just bought a new stereo for my X because I just drove 8 hours with no music due to it deciding that was the time it would finally die. It has been going out since I bought so just now got around to replacing it and waiting for a great deal on the stereo I wanted.

Mcdonalds for breakfast at 3am....mcdonalds for lunch at 11am....what else can you expect when you go duck hunting.

Went for the first time in my life this morning, a lot of people out on the river but all the ducks were flying to high to kill them. So we went walking through the woods and had some target practice. I turned some little tweety birds into a explosion of feathers with a stoger 2000 12 gauge.

After muttering something about "zombies," "spiders" and "Nissan Xterra," Roberts said, the man looked at officers and then jumped from the roof, injuring his back and both ankles.
A Nissan Xterra was parked behind the apartment complex near where he landed

Now that's an interesting night.

First off, I was uploading pics I'm gonna post and had to listen to TWO commercials in Spanish....wth commercials are bad enough in English.

Second, this is what I call "the gauntlet" when driving back to NM from here in OK. It's nothing but mesquite trees on both sides with lots of cover for deer. My dad's already hit one on this road and I've seen tons of dead deer on the side of the road. So this is how I was able to convince my wife on the Hefty, at first, and the lights I mounted point to the sides just slightly to cover the blind area on the sides when I have my brights on.

and I never thought I'd see gas below $3.00 again :( but my aunt told me she filled up in Albuquerque for less than this even.

edit: and this was a soccer field in NM. Now it's just blow sand! I had a layer of it caked on my X and I've gotta clean my window sills with a q-tip so I don't get sand streaks like I had on my Mustang.

I wish gas was $2.99 around me. Although $3.09 still isn't too bad. Lucky for me, I wont have to pay for gas for til the end of next week when i have the cash to replace my alternator. I get to ride around in the BFs lexis and feel sophisticated. LOL

So looks like the weekend of Dec 9th i will mount my new 33 mts on my new pro-comp rock crawlers, wrap my cb antenna in hot pink glow in the dark pvc shrink wrap and have a new alternator. I think it is a win myself.

Yup sometimes franklin ky is 20-30 cents cheaper, a couple years ago there was a big deal about price gouging (I know thats spelled wrong sorry) and the stations made it a lot cheaper and then a few months later it was back up...but they will let it drop 2 cents a day down to 3.20 and then shoot it back up to like 3.40 then slowly drop it.... bp screwed our chances for off shore drilling.

I tell you what...our trip back from Birmingham was interesting, in relation to gas prices. It would be 3.29, then drop to 3.09, then back up to 3.35...Athens was 3.38, but the first exit back into TN it was 2.99 again. Here at home, it's 2.97.

Its crazy.... honestly I would not mind for a national gas price....that is if it was reasonable and low.

If environmentalist were not so worried about offshore drilling, it would actually lower our gas prices a lot, create american jobs, and keep the money in our economy. But I don't want to get a political argument going thats just my 2 cents.
